Bush Proposes Return to the Moon by 2015 (washingtonpost.com)  

From: Bush Proposes Return to the Moon by 2015 (washingtonpost.com):

President Bush challenged the nation today to return to the moon as early as 2015 and to use it as a stepping stone to human exploration of Mars and worlds beyond.

Speaking from the Washington headquarters of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Bush outlined an ambitious program of space exploration aimed at recapturing the glory of the first lunar landing in 1969 and reaping untold technological benefits from exceeding that achievement.

Wow. Only the Shrub could send us back to the moon? I mean, really. I had heard this, and I truly thought that anybody expecting this out of GWB was out of their fricking gourd. But it did happen. I support it. There's a few things that I think need to truly change for this to be truly successful. But it's still a shocker.
